    Description

    The 2022 Sentinel Public Training and Innovation Day took place over two days in April. 

     

    2022 Sentinel Public Training Day: Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting

    The 2022 Sentinel Public Training Day focused on Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW), an analytic method that can reduce confounding bias in observational studies of medical treatments. Investigators from the Sentinel Operations Center also discussed opportunities presented by the new IPTW tool within the Sentinel Routine Querying System, the new Sentinel Views dashboard component, and how researchers can conduct analyses of routinely collected electronic health data in the Sentinel Common Data Model format.

     

    2022 Sentinel Innovation Day

    The 2022 Sentinel Innovation Day focused on challenges and opportunities in integrating electronic health record-based data in common data models, computable phenotyping to aid medical product safety investigations, advanced analytic approaches to improve confounding adjustments in Sentinel investigations, and a causal inference framework for Sentinel.
